Whats the URL length limit for SharePoint 2013 REST GET requests?

I found this

http://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28494568/What-is-the-max-limit-for-URL's-with-users-using-IE-11-and-SharePoint-2013.html

But I just wanted to confirm again that its 2,083 characters.

it is still same for IE11 and SharePoint 2013

WinINET.h defines INTERNET_MAX_URL_LENGTH as 2083 characters, and this limit remains in force in a number of places.

    check the 2nd link to KB article.If you are using the GET method, you are limited to a maximum of 2,048 characters, minus the number of characters in the actual path.

  • That says 2048, but the most I could enter was 2047...
